RTL text alignment tests in SVG 1.1

Hello,

I'm wondering what to do with the RTL testcases in SVG1.1F2, which are  
affected by the clarified wording for RTL text alignment in SVGT1.2.

This affects this test:

   http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/svg/fonts-glyph-02-t.svg

which has a counterpart in the SVGT1.2 testsuite:

   http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.2T/test/htmlObjectHarness/fonts-glyph-02-t.html

For reference, see definitions of 'text-anchor' in SVG1.1[1] and  
SVGT1.2[2], and the sections on bidi handling[3][4]. FWIW I think 1.2T  
conveys the intent of the SVG 1.1 spec, so I think backporting the changes  
made for the RTL text tests in the 1.2T testsuite to the SVG1.1F2  
testsuite would be reasonable.

Cheers
/Erik
